Thank you! They are my first silkies.Your chicks are beautiful!
looks porcelain to me, cutie =) Non-bearded?
I don't know, but it looks non bearded? Is there any non-bearded in the parent's background?Well this chick came from bearded parents, can the beard come in later? (I am sure that sounded stupid!)
They are all just lovely especially that sweet little Dumpling.My visit to Catdance Farm was superb! Spent an hour and a half with Karen talking Silkies, genetics, and husbandry. She and I share a lot of the same philosphy. Wonderful to meet her and I've never seen so many drop dead gorgeous Silkies in one place in my life. I'm still star struck.
Brought home a pair of Whites hand picked by Karen. She also gave me a little crippled pullet. I'm giving her a 'forever' home. She could produce eggs and chicks too. She is the sweetest little thing. I just named her.
Named by my two year old Grandson. Fluffy Dragon is ten months old. Out of a pen with a Shorty Polston roo and Aimee Croger hens. He is in rough condition from his time in the cockerel pen but I love his comb and beak. He has a lot of hard feathers in his tail.
His tail and cushion are lacking but he is still maturing. I wanted a pullet that would compliment him.
Karen paired this cutie with him. She is out of a different pen of Catdance line birds. Six months old, she still is a baby. She has a huge bonnet crest so I named her Bonney. She's got a beautiful cushion and tail. Great pairing with Fluffy Dragon.
The little special needs pullet is going to be protected and loved by me forever. She is a doll. Can't walk or stand but scoots around on her tummy. She's been in a pullet pen and gotten around just fine. The other little pullet Bonney is her bestest buddy. I've just named her 'Dumpling'.
Twenty four Catdance eggs now in the new Genesis bator. Holy Carp! Here we go!
I have a friend who got a 3 months old cockerel with almost no beard that did grow in later. Here's one of mine at 7 wks. They all have this same look at this age.Well this chick came from bearded parents, can the beard come in later? (I am sure that sounded stupid!)
Sounds like sour crop...sorry to hear that
What is sour crop is it bad
Don't disregard your beautiful babies yet...they still may grow to be spectacular...they have some nice markings
My **** Roos crow at all hours through the night...I think as I have o e in the garage with my brooder and the heat lamp light makes him crow then stets off the other two out in the coops...drives me nuts!
